What do you do after splitting up with a partner when the weather is just getting warm enough for the holiday season to kick off in earnest? Take a holiday in Hawaii, a popular honeymooning destination - alone.
This is what 36-year-old Hollywood actress Cameron Diaz decided to do after splitting from model boyfriend Paul Sculfor earlier this month following a year-long relationship.
Ms Diaz was spotted enjoying the azure waters of the holiday destination in a sexy, small green bikini that would have probably reminded her ex what he was missing.
Hawaii has long been associated with honeymooners but the holiday destination boasts a variety of attributes that make it ideal for virtually all types of holidaymakers.
Ideally located in the central Pacific Ocean between the US, Japan and Australia, this is the perfect getaway.
According to the archipelago's official tourism body, there is "no place on earth like Hawaii" because the nation's six unique islands "offer distinct experiences that will entice any traveller".
There is a lot for visitors to the islands to do other than the usual beach, sun and sangria, such as venturing off the beaten path and exploring the islands.
Holidaymakers can escape the city air and go for something more fresh and breezy by taking a hiking trip along the Napali Coast on Kauai or explore the beautiful 2,000-foot cliffs of Waipio Valley on Hawaii's Big Island.
For a really adventurous and unique experience, why not wrap yourself in something nice and warm and head to the top of Haleakala National Park on Maui to watch the sunrise?
People interested in discovering local art and hopefully getting a nice memento while at it may want to take advantage of the monthly First Friday art walk, which takes place in downtown Oahu.
If like Charlie's Angels star Diaz you prefer the beach experience, there are still places off the beaten track that can offer it such as the peaceful waters of Kaupoa beach on Molokai and the the golden sands of Polihua Beach on Lanai, which is ideal for sunbathing.
Meanwhile holidaymakers are advised to make relaxing their topmost priority when taking ther holidays because research from online travel and leisure retailer lastminute.com has found that people do not know how to break the work routine.
According to the organisation, British holidaymakers do not know how to "switch off from the nine to five" and 42 per cent constantly update their Twitter and Facebook accounts "when relaxing should be their top priority".
Due to this the company has advised people to take a long 'tweekend' and "step away from the status updates and learn how to relax without telling the world what you had for breakfast every morning".
